Our evidence-based research in 2014 identified 89 rare inborn errors of metabolism, with ID as a major feature, which are potentially treatable. In May 2016 our TIDEX exome study adds to this list with the discovery of new diseases amenable to therapy.

What is TIDE BC?

Tide BC is a new care & research initiative with a focus on prevention and treatment of Intellectual disability (ID). We have shown that the ID seen in some children is due to treatable genetic conditions known as inborn errors of metabolism. Many of these can be treated with diet or drugs.

Our Goal

By improving diagnosis, treatment and care and by using the best of modern day technologies, TIDE BC aims to improve health outcomes of all those affected.
